Chapter 254 Floating?
"Lord! This is..." After cleaning up the ghouls, Lao Mao and the others came in carrying large and small bags of things.
It was pitch dark in the tomb, so he took out a lamp and vine to illuminate it so he could see clearly. Then he saw Muying standing in front of a stone door, not knowing what he was doing.
Before the words could be spoken, a rumble was heard and the stone door slowly opened a crack.
Dispel magic really works!
Inside the door is a corridor covered with cobwebs, extending into the depths of darkness.
Muying's vision was not affected by the darkness, and she saw two doors on both sides of the corridor, a small wooden door and a large stone door similar to the one in front of her.
Thinking of the small pile of gold coins she had found in the coffin, she decided to go in and take a look.
Anyway, the door is here, if there is any problem, just run away.
She also carefully picked up rocks and threw them in to see if there were any traps.
No problems occurred.
She walked in. Nothing happened at first, but when she stepped on about the third floor tile, she suddenly felt a "click" sound like something breaking in the corridor wall.
I thought to myself that it was not good and I was about to go back.
But at this moment, the strip of stone bricks on the top of the corridor outside the tomb door suddenly fell down.
Only then did she realize that what she was holding was a stone brick. It was like a dragon-breaking stone. One piece of it would block her retreat.
There is a stone wall that is so tight that it is impossible to tell that there is a tomb door behind it.
The place where the stone fell was close to her heels, and she subconsciously took a step forward. Lao Mao and others who were about to follow behind were also blocked on the other side.
"Lord!" Muying could still hear the shouts of Lao Mao and the others on the other side of the stone.
But she had no time to respond at this time, because the stone bricks above her head were still falling down, and the next one was on top of her head.
Muying could only run forward as hard as she could. If she ran a step slower, she would be smashed into pieces by the stone wall. The protective spells attached to her body could not withstand such a smash.
But no matter how fast she ran, she couldn't fall as fast as the stone wall. But now that there were no outsiders around, she quickly took out the broomstick, rode on it, and flew forward quickly with her body low.
After getting on the broom and running for a while, the stone bricks above my head suddenly stopped.
Muying stagnated in mid-air, looked back at the quiet corridor, and then realized that the trigger point of the mechanism was on the ground.
There was no response when throwing stones before, maybe it was because it was not heavy enough.
"It's floating!" Muying said quietly as she looked at the corridor behind which was blocked by a pile of stone walls.
Just for the dozen gold coins and the possible elemental gems, she acted recklessly, and now there was no way out.
But if she doesn't step on the ground and doesn't trigger the mechanism, she won't be in any danger for the time being.
Although she still has a lot of food in her storage ring to survive and all the daily necessities, so she doesn't have to worry about survival, she doesn't want to continue exploring now.
These pieces of dragon-breaking stones suddenly aroused many associations in her.
I've read a lot of tomb-robbing novels. For the time being, this is an underground tomb. The tomb room where the ghoul was before doesn't look like the main entrance of the tomb, but more like a robbing cave.
The dead generally don't want to be disturbed. If there is a rockfall trap, there will definitely be more.
The corridor in front of us is about ten meters before it bottoms out, but there are branch roads on the left and right.
Who knows how big this tomb is?
What if I get lost while walking?
What if the trap behind is more tricky?
What if there are any particularly powerful monsters?
In short, whether you call her timid or unfounded, if she continues to move forward, the result may be better or worse than now.
But if she doesn't move forward now, the result will not be worse.
The way back is right behind us, but it's blocked by a few dragon-breaking stones. Getting rid of this stone is much more reliable than searching for unknown exits.
If there is really no way to get rid of this stone, it is not too late to find another way out.
Since she couldn't stay on the ground, she took out the magic flying carpet and decided to stay in the air for the time being.
The mechanism in this passage is obviously a one-time use. It has not been triggered before, which means that there should be no monsters coming in this passage.
Even if there is, the magic flying carpet also has a shielding function to avoid being discovered by monsters.
After putting on the flying carpet, Muying sat cross-legged on the flying carpet. He checked this section of the corridor and found that there was nothing special about the ground, the sides, and even the stone tiles above his head.
She also took a look at the small wooden door and stone door she saw before.
All sealed with magic.
Muying didn't touch them for the time being, and planned to think of other ways first.
She took out the space suitcase, placed it on the magic flying carpet, and walked in.
Then she opened the spell list, and she remembered that among the newly unlocked 4th-level spells at level 7, there was a spell called Stone Shaping, which had a similar effect to Wood Shaping and could be used to shape stones.
She wanted to see if she could use this to change the shape of the Dragon Breaking Stone and create a passage.
After checking it carefully, she confirmed that it should be feasible.
At her current level, after learning the Stone Shaping Technique, she can only shape 17 cubic feet of stone at a time. She can shape a stone door, an exit, or even a stone cabinet.
Although the dragon-breaking stone blocking the entire passage was far more than 17 cubic feet, she was able to cast spells in a completely small area and with high frequency, and she didn't even need a large doorway, as long as she could get out.
Moreover, after learning this spell, she will no longer have to worry about being blocked when she explores the tomb later. If the road is blocked, she can just dig through it.
In ancient times, there was the Foolish Old Man who moved mountains, but now there is Muying who uses stone shaping techniques to dig out dragon stones.
But the premise of all this is that she first learned the stone shaping technique.
With a storage ring, a food pocket, and a comfortable suitcase to live in, she was fully confident to learn this spell.
At this time, I have to be grateful that since I have this storage ring with a large space, I can throw whatever I like into it. It is almost a small portable storage ring, and it has become useful now.
In addition, if you stay here for a long time, it is quite wasteful for the magic flying carpet to stay in the air.
It is powered by magic power. After injecting some magic power, it can last for a period of time. But now that she is in a strange place, and she has to practice stone shaping later, the magic power may not be saved, so she can only rely on magic power to defend herself.
Although the magic power is quite abundant, it is important to save a little.
In fact, she only needs a place to put the suitcase, and the flying carpet can only be used when she comes out.
